Amongst our pets there are some.
Also among those we farm for food.
But in the wild … nary any. How come?
Could it be that dogs, cows, and cats
only go nuts when they're with us?
That Nature, absent our butting in,
finds dysfunction superfluous?
Along with the other defects
which turn us into degenerate wrecks.
Whether you're scaly or feathered or furry,
Nature's no place for you if you vision is blurry.
So, too, I conjecture with mental disorders.
In Nature these are soon gone.
But we being “civilized” — because we care —
we nurture shortcomings. We pass them on.
Yet one more strain in the human dilemma.
Like we really need another problema?
